Module Assignment- Lesson & Content

Data can be reported in a number of ways. We report data using graphs, storyboards, tables, and even reports. However, before reporting data, we have to take the raw data that we have and make sense of it. This is where data turns into information. Without making sense of the data, reporting it would be useless. For example, if I mentioned that Turner Hospital served a total of 800 patients with diabetes, what does this mean to you? Not much, right? You would need to know how many patients the hospital served overall to get a good idea of what percentage of the patients were diabetic.

For your written assignment this week, you are taking raw data and turning it into useful information. Here is what you need to know.

You are working with the results of patient satisfaction surveys.

For each question, the hospital has a goal of 80% for the highest measure of each question. This means, they are looking for the first answer of each question to have a response rate of 80%.

To calculate the response rate, first you need to add up the number of responses for each question. Next, you will divide the number of responses for each answer by the total number of responses for the question and then multiply by 100. For example, if the first question has a total number of responses of 300 and the first answer has a total number of 100 responses, my equation would look like this: 100/300=0.3333, 0.3333x100= 33.33%

After you have completed the calculations, you will need to create a 1 page summary to summarize the the results for Senior Management. Be sure to identify which outcomes did not meet the 80% goal. You may find it helpful to perform an Internet search for examples using the phrase, "healthcare report cards". The results can be in the form a Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel document.

Be sure your calculations are in the form of a report. Research hospital report cards to see what it would look like.

Make sure all outcomes are included in the report.

Be sure to identify which outcomes did not meet 80% goal.

HINT: What would the instructor do for this assignment? - I would create a report of the outcomes (calculations) in a table format. Then include this table in my one page summary.

Your healthcare facility has incorporated a new survey. The intent of the survey is to measure patient satisfaction. The healthcare facility has a goal of 80% patient satisfaction based on the highest measure for each question.
